  • Abstract:
    A good recipe for project success is that the difficulties likely to be encountered the project be identified and clearly understood early by the management team. In a design and build (D/B) construction project, problems such as unclear scope, design changes, communication and coordination lapses among parties and project interface problems with the environment are common place. The management team should recognize the problem being faced and develop a strategy to lead the project to its final objective. In this paper, the problems that occurred in D/B construction projects in Thailand have been identified through a survey of six projects. The critical problems identified here are beneficial for the managers of similar projects.
